Samsung gives up Microsoft's Mango Phone in Korea

Reportedly, finally Samsung  abandoned its plan for rolling out Mango phone which embeds Windows mobile 7.5 O/S, in Korean market. In October last year, even Samsung shipped out Windows 7.5 phones to Europe, Russia and South East Asian market with brand name of 'OMNIA W', Samsung recalls nightmare experience with prior Windows phone in Korea in 2009. Samsung had in trouble of class action lawsuit caused by Windows O/S phone in Korea. Nokia's brand new Mango phone, Lumia 710, which rolled out in Korea from Dec. 26th through KT, does not appeal impressively to customers. That's additional reason why Samsung makes a decision to give up Mango phone in Korea. Also as we know Samsung reinforces to merge its proprietary BADA O/S with TIZEN alliance which was escalated by Intel and also next upcoming Windows 8 O/S was unveiled in CES 2012. These around facts look to make Samsung to hesitate driving its sales force in Mango phone.
